SAN FRANCISCO, May 3 (Xinhua) -- Amazon on Tuesday announced plans to create more than 2,500 corporate and technology jobs over the coming years in multiple cities across the western U.S. state of California.

The company will expand its Tech Hubs in San Diego and the Los Angeles area, including Irvine and Santa Monica. These latest investments come after Amazon opened more than 15 sites across Southern California and created more than 17,000 jobs statewide in 2021 alone, the announcement said.

"These 2,500 new jobs include roles building cloud infrastructure, improving the Alexa experience, and designing cutting edge video games," said Holly Sullivan, Amazon's vice president of worldwide economic development.

Since 2010, Amazon has created more than 170,000 full- and part-time jobs in California and invested more than 81 billion U.S. dollars across the state. These investments have contributed an additional 80 billion dollars to the California economy and support 259,000 indirect jobs, the company said. Enditem
